The study involved 96 individuals from social care and nursing staff. Fifty-nine percent of social care staff were supporting a client with a learning disability who had offended or displayed an offending type behavior. The range of behaviors included rape, sexual assault, and exposure. Only 22.9 percent of social care staff had received training in this area, while none of the health staff had. Both groups expressed low levels of confidence in supporting this client group. The areas of difficulty were common to both groups and included personal attitudes and attitudes of others to the behavior, and concerns over risk, responsibility, and safety. Social care staff were significantly more likely to hold negative attitudes towards the person's behavior, while health staff were significantly more likely to feel negatively towards the person. Health staff identified training as a means of further support, while social care staff identified professional input. Tables, references
